Sunday Stamper and Simon Says
This week Simon Says Stamp and Show a Flourish, and the Hels' Sunday Stamper theme is Writing, so I decided to use these themes in a birthday card that I have just been out to post. The Tim background stamp is one of my favourites, and is appropriate here as my friend is French. So it's a clear EP resist against Dusty Concord, Weathered Wood, Broken China and Spun Sugar Distress Stains, spritzed with Pearl Glimmer Mist. The flourish is cut with a Sizzix die from Coredinations card and painted with silver dabber so that the texture of the card still shows through. The metal flower is from one of those useful pieces of Primark bling that you can take to pieces and have lots of bits to use as embellishments. The glass was a die-cut from silver holographic card, and has been in my bits and pieces box for years. It looks much better coloured with silver dabber, and has a textured finish.

ReplyDeleteYour creation is awesome! I love the colors and especially am impressed with your background which actually looks so very much like a rubbing from some ancient wall in Europe!
